Incredible FASEB #NeuroExpSRC meeting over the last couple of days including field leaders such as Michael Greenberg and Richard Tsien - congratulations to the organizers @ennatsew.bsky.social, @ramensaha.bsky.social, and @spiegel-lab.bsky.social on organizing such a fantastic conference.

This is me with Allison Riggs, NC Supreme Court justice. In 2024 NC Republicans tried to steal her election victory by disenfranchising >60,000 NC voters, including overseas military, after their votes were legally cast. We fought and we won. Voting is patriotic. Be like Allison and protect votes.

I submitted several comments on the OMB rule last Saturday but they haven’t posted yet. I got one email with a comment tracking number saying it was “sent for review” but it still isn’t posted. Has anyone else experienced this? If comments are submitted in time but not posted will they count?

Taking a different tact to reaching Director Bhattacharya. Just wrote to the Deputy Director for Public Affairs, Office of Communications and Public Liaison Chief (Acting), Strategic Communications and Media Relations Branch (and cc'ed the NIH Director). 1/2

Dear Ms. Fine: I have been looking for and unable to find Director Bhattacharya's statement condemning the actions of the leadership of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the police and security personnel they enlisted in censoring free speech at the current ADA meeting.

NIH and NSF research are under new attack from Russell Vought's Project 2025 crew. NSF: withholding grants from major universities. NIH: a proposed OMB rule that stops using merit to award grants - and allow arbitrary termination. Congress has to stop this. secure.actblue.com/donate/sam4n...

That is absolutely awful! Let’s hope it is just extreme slowness due to personnel cuts. When we take back Congress in the fall, our top demand should be Russell Vought’s impeachment.

It is important that they did not end late submission - you still get extra time given that the reviews often overlap submission cycles. This is what I’ve had the last many years as a frequent reviewer and it is sufficient.

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThx29BJ9/

I would like to point out that on the last round of conference grants they changed the rules to require foreign paperwork if you have an international co-organizer AFTER the conference grants were submitted so we had to withdraw and resubmit in the next cycle. Nothing is ever easier.
